Are you calling yourself a kid?

No, don't call me a hero. Do you know who the real heroes are? The guys, who wake up every morning, and go into their normal jobs, and get a distress call from the commissioner, and take off their glasses and change into capes and fly around fighting crime. Those are the real heroes.

No, but I am calling you one.


Back on topic though, thanks for the derail. I am sure the mods have enough to worry about then having pictures of testes and other body parts embedded in the threads is what I was getting at.

I'm a college dropout.

On the EA forums you're allowed to post pictures in forum posts and I've never seen it be abused.

This is probablably due to their system. Their accounts are linked to either a PSN, Xbox Live, or PC account. Also, when they are banned on the forums, they are also banned on all EA games for online for the selected period of time. There's more incentive to follow the rules because of the reprocussions are more severe than Bungie.net. However, because of that system they are also a lot more lenient when it comes to trolling and flaming. They pretty much expect us to be more grown up and just deal with trolling and flaming since it really doesn't matter.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

This is a discussion forum, not an imageboard. Here, we try to say what we want to say with words.

I'm not too worried about abuse. But it's already bad enough with people responding to posts with links to YouTube videos and images, as if that constitutes any kind of response at all. I don't even click on links like that anymore.

And if people could embed images on this site, every single thread would consist of an OP followed by 25 embedded meme images, each person trying to post something funnier than the last. And that's a fact.

ATTENTION MODERATORS. My latest ban (14-day ban from Qbix89) is not legitimate, take a look for yourself. Please review this before considering me a "repeat offender". Thank you.

I just think that private groups should have a lot more options and settings, including this feature. It's already bad enough we can't post images in the private group forums, but we can't even post them in the "news" portion!

Someone please explain this bull-blam!-!

To be honest, I'm perfectly fine not having this option on the public forums for several reasons, including the reasons most people already listed.

I just think that it's such a waste if the private groups don't even have a setting for turning on image posting, email posting, etc.

I also think it's quite stupid that we can't post images in our news and announcement articles.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

OP obviously wasn't here when users figured out how to post pictures. If he was, then he would have known better than to create this thread.

I'm pretty sure this suggestion has been argued out of possibility. For further arguments, please check this thread.

TLDR: We should be able to embed images much like bungie employees. It could be moderated with bans on using the embedding to prevent people embedding bad images.

Well, dammit! That's hard to accept. I would at the very least like to post images in news/announcements. It would come in real handy in those situations.

Edit: Ever since the last update, every time I go to a topic with embedded images from administrators, that stupid footer overlaps the posts! So annoying...

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Even though it's a thread derail attempt, oddly that makes sense.

Seriously, I've been around these parts for 8 years *shakes cane at yungins* and I've never felt hindered by the image restriction.

Meh. I wish we could do it in private groups at least but I know we won't ever get the chance.

It would make sense to allow them in Private Groups. At least in the News and such.
